Prsten (The Ring) by Mihailo Despotovic, 1989

A text adventure with still pictures for the Commodore Amiga, inspired by The Lord of the Rings. I wrote it in Amiga BASIC, with some routines in MC68000 assembly. The game itself was not preserved; all that is left is my ad for it in the Yugoslav computer magazine Moj Mikro, in April 1989, on page 49.

Commodore amiga 500/1000/2000: Avantura Prsten

Pre mnogo, mnogo godina zli čarobnjak oteo je od tvog naroda čarobni prsten koji je garantovao mir i blagostanje. Od tada, svakih stotinu godina, u noći Okruglog Meseca, po jedan izabranik koga regrutuje i priprema seoski čarobnjak, kreće u neizvesnost, u planine ne bi li pronašao Breg Svetlosti (mesto gde je prsten ostavljen i zaboravljen) i vratio prsten. Ovoga puta ti si izabran. Na raspolaganju ti je jedna noć… Put u nepoznato, avantura, zmajevi, čarobnjaci, planinski pustinjaci, zmajevi, te dobra atmosfera, zaplet i izvođenje su samo neke stvari koje možete očekivati od ovog programa. Isključivo na Vašim disketama sa knjižicom uputstava i ostalog što ide uz ovakav program…

In English

Commodore Amiga 500/1000/2000: The Ring, an adventure

Many, many years ago, an evil wizard stole from your people the magic ring that guaranteed peace and prosperity. Since then, every hundred years, on the night of the Round Moon, one chosen one, recruited and prepared by the village wizard, sets out into the unknown, into the mountains, hoping to find the Hill of Light (the place where the ring was left and forgotten) and bring the ring back. This time, you are the chosen one. You have one night… A journey into the unknown, adventure, dragons, wizards, mountain hermits, dragons, and a good atmosphere, plot and execution are just some of the things you can expect from this program. Only on your own floppy disks, with an instruction booklet and everything else that goes with a program like this…
